9, Bath Street

This small town house, now a hairdressing salon, was built around 1850-60 and has been altered since. It is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with sandstone dressings and a slate roof. The house has a double-depth, single-fronted design on a corner site, with a facade facing Bath Street and an entrance in the north return side, which fronts South Clifton Street.

The two-storey facade to Bath Street has a plain frieze and a moulded cornice that extends around a full-height stone canted bay. This bay contains four-pane sash windows on both floors. The gabled side wall has a central round-headed doorway with a moulded architrave and a fanlight with radiating glazing bars. This doorway is sheltered by a shallow wooden trellis porch featuring geometrical openwork which forms a round-headed archway. Above the doorway is a four-pane sash window, and a four-flue chimney stack rises from the apex of the roof. A lower two-storey rear extension is present.

The building contributes to a group value with numbers 2-10 Bath Street opposite and numbers 1 and 3 Bath Street to the left.
